They couldn't talk about it at work yet. They just couldn't. She needed Keiji to really establish himself with BH6 before anyone knew about their relationship, so that people wouldn't get the Wrong Idea. The idea that she was taking advantage, having gotten him the pardon and being responsible for him.

She'd rushed things. She knew she had. But what could she do, keep fighting her feelings? And she didn't want it to stay some dirty little secret forever. They'd tell her father when he came in a few months. They'd let the team find out when the time was right. But to start with....

...Amiko had an idea.

"Keiji?" she asked in a quiet, private moment. "Would you come down to the docks with me tonight?"

He sighs in resignation. "What Amiko-chan says is true. My mutation is meant to be internal, and my body compensates for it. However, the claws are an affect I forced. My body does not compensate for the effects my bones may have on the outside of my skin. Plus, I have no method of quick healing." It was as much giving Yukio important weakness as a sign of his willingness to protect Amiko as it was to explain Amiko's concerns.

	And Yukio gives him an "I see what you did there' look. 'You might fit in with this family eventually after all. Amiko looks at her with an eyebrow raised, although she appreciates the comment. Yukio continues. "That was an 'if I ever have to be taken down' statement, 'miko-chan.' Noble and ridiculously unwise. Like I said; he'll fit right in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiles. "You better than most see what I'm up against here." He notes his trigger-finger was bleeding from the claw earlier used. His first instinct was to hide it, but..he knew Amiko would be more hurt if he did than if he showed her. Instead he simply pulls out a bandage to wrap the finger up in.

	Neither of the women blink at the blood. Amiko will help him secure the bandage. Yukio smiles tightly. "Like I said. No changing her mind without drugs and brainwashing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji started a little at the mention of brainwashing. How much of his life had been brainwashing? Was he a victim of said action? Or was he really just a gullible fool whose honor and sense of duty were used as a means to get the Hand to do as they wished? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amiko squeezes his hand tenderly. "All right. Food. Let's eat." And they will. Cheap local dockside food, about as far from the fineries of Amiko's childhood as one could imagine. (Reply to this)(Parent)
